Description

La présente invention a pour objet un jeu.The present invention relates to a game.

Un jeu avec les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1 est connu du US-A-4 257 609.A game with the characteristics of the preamble of claim 1 is known from US-A-4,257,609.

Le but de l'invention est de fournir un jeu qui soit à la fois récréatif et didactique, développant tout particulièrement les facultés de réflexion du joueur et qui, en outre, permette, à l'aide d'un même matériel, de jouer selon des règles de jeux de difficultés différentes en fonction de l'âge ou de l'aptitude des joueurs.The object of the invention is to provide a game which is both recreational and didactic, developing in particular the thinking skills of the player and which, in addition, allows, using the same equipment, to play according to rules of games of different difficulties depending on age or the aptitude of the players.

Ce but est atteint grâce aux moyens définis dans la revendication 1.This object is achieved by the means defined in claim 1.

Les dessins représentent, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'objet de l'invention et une variante.The drawings show, by way of example, an embodiment of the subject of the invention and a variant.

La fig. 1 est une vue en perspective d'une première forme d'exécution de jeu.Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the game.

La fig. 2 est une vue en perspective d'une partie de ce jeu.Fig. 2 is a perspective view of part of this game.

La fig. 3 est une vue en perspective d'un élément de ce jeu.Fig. 3 is a perspective view of an element of this game.

La fig. 4 est une vue éclatée de la partie du jeu représentée à la fig. 3.Fig. 4 is an exploded view of the part of the game shown in FIG. 3.

La fig. 5 est une vue en perspective d'une variante de ce jeu.Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a variant of this game.

La fig. 6 est une vue en perspective d'un détail de cette variante.Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a detail of this variant.

Le jeu représenté à la fig. 1 comprend un empilage plein 1 de polyèdres élémentaires réguliers 2 constitués par des dodécaèdres rhombiques dont le nombre, par couche, va en décroissant du bas vers le haut. L'empilage a la forme d'une pyramide. Ses faces présentent des parties en creux dues à la nature même des dodécaèdres rhombiques 2.The game shown in fig. 1 includes a full stack 1 of polyhedra regular elementaries 2 constituted by rhombic dodecahedrons whose number, per layer, decreases from bottom to top. Stacking shape of a pyramid. Its faces have recessed parts due to the the very nature of rhombic dodecahedrons 2.

Dans cet empilage, les dodécaèdres 2 sont placés "sur pointe", c'est-à-dire qu'ils ont un de leurs sommets tourné vers le bas. Pour pouvoir se maintenir dans cette position, sans que l'empilage ne s'écroule, les dodécaèdres de la couche inférieure sont partiellement engagés dans des alvéoles à ouverture carrée 3 que présente une embase 4 réalisée en carton ou en matière plastique, par exemple.In this stack, the dodecahedra 2 are placed "on point", that is to say that they have one of their vertices facing down. To be able to maintain in this position, without the stack collapsing, the dodecahedra of the lower layer are partially engaged in opening cells square 3 that has a base 4 made of cardboard or material plastic, for example.

Les dodécaèdres 2 dont l'un a été représenté séparément à la fig. 3, pourront avoir leurs sommets arrondis. Ils seront réalisés en carton, en matière plastique ou en bois. Dans l'exécution en matière plastique, ils seront de préférence en deux pièces de forme identique 2a, en forme de coques, rapportées l'une à l'autre à demeure, comme indiqué à la fig. 4. Chaque pièce présentera des éléments mâles et femelles, non représentés au dessin, destinés à coopérer pour assurer leur assemblage.The dodecahedrons 2, one of which has been shown separately in FIG. 3, may have their vertices rounded. They will be made of cardboard, plastic or wooden. In the plastic execution, they will be preferably in two pieces of identical shape 2a, in the form of shells, permanently attached to each other, as shown in fig. 4. Each piece present male and female elements, not shown in the drawing, intended to cooperate to ensure their assembly.

Les faces des dodécaèdres 2 présentent un aspect différent, de deux types.The faces of the dodecahedra 2 have a different appearance, of two types.

Les faces d'un même type pourront être identiques ou différentes pour autant qu'elles présentent des caractères distinctifs indiquant qu'elles appartiennent à une même "famille"; ces familles pourront se caractériser de différentes manières : couleur, chiffres pairs et impairs, par exemple, motifs divers reliés par un même thème commun, différent pour chaque famille, etc.. Au dessin, les faces d'un type ont été représentées en blanc et celles de l'autre type à l'état ombré.Faces of the same type may be identical or different provided that they have distinctive characters indicating that they belong to the same "family"; these families can be characterized by different ways: color, even and odd numbers, for example, various connected patterns by the same common theme, different for each family, etc. In the drawing, the faces of one type have been shown in white and those of the other type to the shaded state.

Dans le cas où les dodécaèdres sont en carton, on pourra imprimer à plat le flan dont ils sont formés, c'est-à-dire le flan étant à l'état développé, pour le plier ensuite en vue de former les parties 2a.In the case where the dodecahedra are made of cardboard, we can print the flat blank of which they are formed, that is to say the blank being in the developed state, for the then fold to form the parts 2a.

Le jeu sera accompagné d'une règle unique ou multiple qui commandera au(x) joueur(s) de placer les polyèdres élémentaires, pour réaliser le polyèdre composé, de telle manière que les faces d'aspect différent desdits polyèdres élémentaires se présentent dans une configuration imposée ou selon une règle imposée.The game will be accompanied by a single or multiple rule which will command the player (s) to place the elementary polyhedra, to make the polyhedron composed, in such a way that the different aspect faces of said polyhedra elementary appear in an imposed configuration or according to a rule imposed.

Dans la forme d'exécution des figs. 1 à 4, les polyèdres élémentaires sont constitués par des dodécaèdres rhombiques réguliers. Le polyèdre composé 1 réalisé par leur empilage est de forme générale pyramidale. Ses faces présentent des parties en creux dues à la nature même des dodécaèdres rhombiques 2.In the embodiment of figs. 1 to 4, the elementary polyhedra are formed by regular rhombic dodecahedra. The compound polyhedron 1 produced by their stacking is of general pyramidal shape. Its faces have recessed parts due to the very nature of the dodecahedra rhombic 2.

Il est à remarquer qu'un même matériel pourra permettre de suivre plusieurs règles de jeu différentes. Dans la variante des figs. 5 et 6, les polyèdres élémentaires sont constitués par des dodécaèdres rhombiques réguliers 5 identiques à ceux de la première forme d'exécution, à deux aspects de surface différents, mais qui sont empilés de manière à constituer un polyèdre composé 6 en forme de tétraèdre. A cet effet, l'embase, désignée par 7, présente des alvéoles à ouverture triangulaire 8.It should be noted that the same material can make it possible to follow several different game rules. In the variant of figs. 5 and 6, polyhedra elementary consist of regular rhombic dodecahedra 5 identical to those of the first embodiment, in two aspects of different surface, but which are stacked so as to constitute a polyhedron compound 6 in the form of a tetrahedron. For this purpose, the base, designated by 7, has triangular opening cells 8.

A titre d'exemple, l'assemblage de la fig. 5 a été réalisé de façon telle que, sur la face de gauche de cette figure, toutes les faces des dodécaèdres élémentaires 2 inclinées sont d'un type, alors que toutes les faces verticales sont du deuxième type.By way of example, the assembly of FIG. 5 was carried out in such a way that, on the left face of this figure, all the faces of the dodecahedra elementary 2 inclined are of a type, while all the vertical faces are of the second type.

II est à remarquer que, dans le cas où les polyèdres 50 élémentaires sont des dodécaèdres rhombiques, les aspects de leurs faces pourront être non seulement de deux types différents, une moitié de leurs faces présentant un aspect d'un type et l'autre moitié de l'autre type, comme dans les exemples décrits et représentés, mais que leurs faces pourront présenter trois types d'aspects différents, un tiers présentant un aspect d'un premier type, un tiers d'un deuxième type et le troisième tiers du troisième type.It should be noted that, in the case where the elementary polyhedra 50 are rhombic dodecahedrons, the aspects of their faces could be non only of two different types, one half of their faces having a appearance of one type and the other half of the other type, as in the examples described and represented, but that their faces could present three types of different aspects, a third presenting an aspect of a first type, a third of a second type and the third third of the third type.

Dans le cas où les polyèdres élémentaires sont des dodécaèdres rhombiques, les aspects de leurs faces pourront être de trois types différents, un tiers desdites faces présentant un aspect de chaque type ou un quart de leurs faces présentant un aspect d'un premier type, un quart d'un deuxième type et une moitié d'un troisième type.In the case where the elementary polyhedra are rhombic dodecahedra, the aspects of their faces can be of three different types, a third of said faces having an appearance of each type or a quarter of their faces having an appearance of a first type, a quarter of a second type and half of a third type.

Toujours dans le cas des dodécaèdres rhombiques, les aspects de leurs faces pourront être de quatre types différents, un quart de leurs faces présentant un aspect de chaque type. Ils pourraient également avoir leurs faces à six types d'aspects différents, un sixième de leurs faces présentant un aspect de chaque type.Still in the case of rhombic dodecahedra, the aspects of their faces may be of four different types, a quarter of their faces presenting an aspect of each type. They could also have their faces with six different types of appearance, one sixth of their faces having a appearance of each type.
